I imagine the daily mirror-staring psych up job they must do to themselves. "Okay, Tom...you gotta go out there and give it your best. *deep breath and muscle flex* Now, don't read the paper today until you feel you're ready *glances at front page* MOTHER F*CKER! He said what about abortion?! For the love of a merciful...okay...just calm down, Tom...you're doing this because the President is a negro."

I just find it hilarious how Democrats make such a huge deal out of "flip-flopping", as they call it. I have never once heard a Republican call any Democratic candidate a flip-flopper, because Republicans do not brand their opponents and Republicans prefer to debate the issues. Republicans do not resort to name-calling, you stupid liberals. Deal with it. Mitchell "Thaddeus" Romney is more intelligent than any of you, and it shouldn't be surprising that when he speaks, that philosophers, academics, experts, and the common man all come together to determine what Romney has actually said. From there, people find multiple interpretations. And from there, people claim he has given many different positions on the same issue. "Misinterpretation of ideas" is not "Romney took multiple positions on the same issue". The end. Go home. Taxbongo lost the election. Stop being jealous that Romney is smarter than you.

bhcompy:Barnstormer: When I was in a relationship I thought that reproductive choice was the litmus-test issue that would determine whom I voted for. Which side I was on depended on which side she was on (based upon my firm conviction that having one dick means you should get NO vote on the matter)

serial_crusher:shrug. Every time I use the phrase "pro-abortion" in a thread, I get a slew of herpaderp about how there's a difference between people who support your right to have an abortion, and those who plan on having one themselves everyone knows I'm a tool.

Yeah, about time the focus moved off of debate, and therefore Big Bird, toHis flipping stance on AbortionTo his taxesTo bain capitalTo him Opposing auto bail out- specially in OhioTo him tax cut to wealthy at the expense of middle class

And so on. These worked well, and will work again. Just need to get peoples mind off of the debate.

No, you probably get a lecture on the difference between being in favor of abortions generally and being in favor of not telling women what to do. Meanwhile, Mitt Romney says he's not going to support anti-abortion legislation, and then his campaign corrects him: he will, he just forgot that he will.
